Erin Andrews seeks $75M in Nashville hotel peeping case

Former ESPN personality Erin Andrews wants $75 million after a 2008 incident at a Nashville hotel where she says a stalker was given access to film her through a door peephole, new court documents say.

Former ESPN personality Erin Andrews wants $75 million after a 2008 incident at a Nashville hotel where she says a stalker was given access to film her through a door peephole, new court documents say.

Andrews' attorneys filed a revised version of the lawsuit earlier this week in Davidson County Circuit Court. The previous lawsuit, filed in 2010 and amended in 2011, sought $10 million for similar claims.

In September, attorneys for the hotel asked Nashville Circuit Judge Hamilton Gayden to order Andrews to clarify past filings that include different amounts of money, and be more specific about how much she sought. Gayden agreed and ordered the new filing.

Andrews wants the $75 million sum from Marriott International, Nashville Marriott at Vanderbilt University, Windsor Capital Group and David Barrett, the man who pleaded guilty to stalking her in 2009. The lawsuit accuses Marriott of negligence, infliction of emotional distress and invasion of privacy.

Andrews accuses the hotel and others of negligently allowing Barrett, then 50, to book rooms next to hers, rig peepholes and film videos of her changing clothes.

A 10-day trial in the civil case is set to begin Feb. 22.

Randall Kinnard, an attorney at the Nashville firm Kinnard, Clayton and Beveridge, represents Andrews. He said he could not comment on the pending case. Jeff Flaherty with Marriott corporate affairs said the company does not comment on pending cases.

The incident occurred in 2008 when Andrews was in town covering a Vanderbilt University football game. Court documents say Barrett then posted the videos on the Internet.
